hate crime in any of its guises will not be tolerated and Merseyside Police will
continue to work alongside our partners to ensure that those responsible for
incidents of hate crime are brought to justice. Victims can report directly to
the Police where specially trained Hate Crime Officers will treat them with
sensitivity and compassion, or via 3rd party reporting centres, located within:-
Fire Stations, Citizen Advice Bureaus (CAB) and Hospitals where the information
will be passed on. If someone doesn't want to speak to the Police, they can get
support from the charity:- 'Stop Hate UK' and they will act as a liaison if
required. They can be contacted by calling:- 0800 138 1625."
